    With a perfect track record across reviews, this North Shore surf school consistently delivers for first-timers and families looking to learn. Instructors like Zack, Mitch, Kane, and Maikai get frequent shoutouts for being patient, encouraging, and genuinely skilled at getting beginners standing up on waves. Multiple families mention even young kids (as young as 7-8 years old) successfully catching waves and having the time of their lives. The booking process is straightforward, and instructors adjust to conditions and schedules when needed. What really stands out is how personalized the experience feels despite often teaching groups. Instructors provide strong physical support in the water, give clear beach lessons without wasting time, and seem to genuinely care about making everyone comfortable. Several nervous beginners mention feeling at ease quickly. The team also shares local recommendations and clearly knows the North Shore breaks well, choosing locations based on conditions and skill levels. If you're hoping to learn surfing in Hawaii, this crew makes it happen.

    direct line of contact on where to meet and when! Super easy to book and find instructor. The quick intro lesson on the beach was detailed but didn’t waste any time! I had perfect luck with a relatively empty ocean and small waves. I stood up on every wave they helped me catch. At least 10-15 times!!! 10/10 would definitely recommend to anyone I know. These guys know their stuff
